Portsmouth Point
Portsmouth Point, or "Spice Island", is part of Old Portsmouth in Portsmouth, Hampshire, on the southern coast of England. The name Spice Island comes from the area's seedy reputation: it was here men were press-ganged into Nelson's navy, for its hostelries and for being where prostitutes plied their trade. It was known as the "Spice of Life". The area forms the eastern side of the narrow entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, facing Gosport on the western side. A magazine published by the Portsmouth Grammar School is named after the Point.
